Education is an important and integral part of society. Regarding the society of deaf students, many elements are observed that make this part of the population in a position to be investigated more and to be helped especially in the matter of education. These children are in need of aids that will cover the deficiencies created due to hearing loss. Interactive applications are an accessible and easy-to-use means to increase the quality and effectiveness of these children's learning. The education of deaf children has a long course and development. Studying the historical path of the education of the deaf, we notice that it has gone through various stages where each time specific issues had to be addressed and resolved, depending on the needs of the time. Given the - to a great extent - heterogeneity of the population of deaf children, we cannot speak of a correct and universal educational approach.
